They announced that they were transitioning their kei cars to rebadged Daihatsus (thanks to Toyota) in what, 2008? Isn't the AS1 production using retooled kei car production lines? I think it's pretty safe to say that this is part of that deal, but I don't know nearly enough about kei cars in general to say that definitively - maybe others have more insight?
